The City Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][D][Em]

[Verse 1]
This city [D]never
[Csus2]sleep s[D]
[Em]I hear the people walk by when it's late[D][C]
[D]Sir[Em]ens bleed through my windowsill
[D]I can[C]'t close my [D]eye[Em]s
Can't control what [D]I'm into[C][Em]
This [Bm]tower is [C]alive[Em]
The lights that [Bm]blind keep me awake
[D]Wit[C]h my hoo[D]d u[Em]p
and lace [Bm]untied[D]
[C]Sleep fills my [D]mind
[Em]Can't con[Bm]trol what I'm into
[C][D]

[Verse 2]
[C]London cal[D]ls me a s[Em]tranger
A traveler
[G]Thi[C]s is now my[D] home,
[G]my hom[Em]e[Bm]
I'm [C]burning on the [D]back [Em]street[Bm]
Stuck here [C]sitting in the [G]backseat
[D]I'm[Em] blaz[Bm]ing [C]on the street[D]
[Em]What I do isn't [Bm]up to you
And if the [C]city never sleeps
Then that makes [D]two
[Em][D]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
The [Bm]pavement is [C]my friend
[D]And [Em]it will take me
where I need [Bm]to go[C][Em]
I find it trips [Bm]me u[C]p
And puts [D]me down
[Em]This is not [Bm]what I'm used [C]to[Em]
The [Bm]shop across the [C]road[D][Em]
Fulfills my [Bm]needs and gives
me com[C]pany
When I need [Em]it
Voices speak through [Bm]my walls
[C]I don't think I'm gonna mak[D]e it
[Em]Past [Bm]tomorrow[C]

[Verse 4]
[C]London calls m[D]e a st[Em]ranger
A traveler
[G]Thi[C]s is now my[D] home,
[G]my hom[Em]e
[Bm]I'm [C]burning on t[D]he back [Em]street[Bm]
Stuck [Em]here [C]sitting in the [G]backseat
[D]I'm[Em] blaz[Bm]ing on t[C]he street[D]
[Em]What I do isn't [Bm]up to you
And if the [C]city never sleeps
Then [D]that makes [Em]two

[Verse 5]
And my lungs [G]hurt
And my ears [A]bled
With the [Asus4]sound of the city life
[C]Echoed in my hea[Em]d
Do I need [G]this to keep me alive?
The [C]traffic stops and starts
But I [D]need to [Em]move along

[Verse 6]
[C]
London [D]calls me [Em]a stranger[C][Em][C]
This is [D]not my [G]home, [Em]home
[Bm]I'm [C]burning on t[D]he back [Em]street[Bm]
[C]Stuck here sitting in the [G]backseat
[D]I'm[Em] blaz[Bm]ing [C]on the street[D]
[Em]What I do isn't up to you
And if the [C]city never sleeps
Then that makes two
